Season ends for Clint Session

We were among the outlets criticizing the Jaguars for spending huge money in free agency on guys like Clint Session, Paul Poslusnzy, and Dawan Landry.

It appeared they were playing star money for solid players.

After one season, we have to admit that the plan worked. (Although last year’s free agent pickup Aaron Kampman showed the risk of big money signings.)

Session and Poslusnzy helped Daryl Smith form a great linebacker group, at least until this week. Session’s season is over after he suffered a second concussion this year.

“Clint brought energy to the field and was playing well, giving us an explosive blitzer who was a tempo-setter against the run,” G.M. Gene Smith said via the Florida Times-Union.

Of course, durability is a factor when evaluating a move too. Session missed 11 games last year for the Colts and will miss seven games this season.
